When he heard Mr. Wyatt's words, Lird's expression could not help but change, and his eyes suddenly showed horror.

If Edward was not a private investigator hired by Mr. Wyatt, who was his true identity, what was his purpose in approaching him, and how did he obtain all the information about himself?

Just when Liard's mind was nervous and confused, he suddenly heard Mr. Wyatt vaguely say: "Wait a minute, this name suddenly feels a little familiar to me, he is... Oh, I remembered. Mr. Wyatt suddenly realized.

"I do remember that there was such a guy. I had a group of private investigators to follow you to India, just in case anything happened to you. And there's a plan on that roster called Edward Cell, I don't know if that's his real name, and I don't care. I just want those people to tell you something about you, and then let them go to sea with you. ”

"But in less than an hour after you landed in Mumbai, you left everyone behind, and the self-proclaimed detectives had to come back to report to me in disgrace. Eventually, I found that the men I had sent were almost completely wiped out, and I was finally completely dead. I also lost hope for the few people who didn't have contact with me, if they didn't have the face to see me, or if there was some kind of accident during the long distance between the United States and India..."

After a pause, Mr. Wyatt seemed to react to something, and said in surprise: "You mentioned this man named Edward, could it be that he is on your side?!"

The plot of the twists and turns again made Lird sigh helplessly, and the heart that had been hung high just now finally fell.

Leard smiled bitterly and said to Mr. Wyatt, "We do stay together now for some special reason, he has been lurking around me for a long time, in an incident not long ago... Helped me..."

"Oh, our God!" said Mr. Wyatt, shuddering at the other end of the computer.

"I didn't expect... Unexpectedly... I really didn't expect it, someone really found you, I'm finally relieved... Rest assured..."

Mr. Wyatt looked like a relieved old father, and although Lird had a helpless wry smile on his face, he was also grateful to Wyatt from the bottom of his heart.

Wyatt suddenly came to his senses and said to Lird, "Son, since Pym has passed away, and the detective named Edward is also by your side, are you coming back?"

Learde hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said heavily, "That... Sir, I'm afraid I'll have to take it here for a while..."

"Why?" Wyatt on the other end of the line exclaimed, emotionally.

Lird said, "I've got something to deal with..."

"What's more? What's more important in this world than life?"

Lird bit his lip and said, "It's something my father didn't finish during his lifetime..."

This time it was Wyatt's turn to be silent, and he muttered for a moment before whispering, "Pym, he... What did you do behind my back in India?"

Lird said: "I'm sorry sir, I can't tell you at this time, at least I can't explain it on the phone, everything can only be wronged by you... Wait a little longer. ”

"But—" Wyatt stammered, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Lird took the opportunity to say: "Sir, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of myself here, I am already an adult, and there are people around me to help, I believe that everything will be taken care of!"

Wyatt finally let out a long sigh and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I can't accept the accident anymore." Your father said the same thing to me when he left the United States, but... Hey..."

Wyatt's voice seemed to be several years old for a while, and it was obvious that Pym's death was really a blow to Wyatt.

Lird had some sour nasal feelings, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and after adjusting his mood, Lird said to Wyatt: "Sir, I understand your feelings, and I also thank you for your care and love for our family. My grandmother, my father, and I have been greatly cared for by you, and I will never forget that for the rest of my life. I will do whatever you ask, but this time I ask you to give me a chance to be willful, as long as this time..."

"Kid, don't say it. Wyatt interrupted Liard.

"First of all, your family never owes me anything, and what I do is just a trivial matter, so you don't have to worry too much about it. ”

"Although you and I have only been together for a short time, I treat you as my own child, so I want you to be healthy and happy. This is the expectation of every elder for the junior. ”

"Of course, although I hope that you will be safe, I also do not want your safety to be based on your own unwilling inaction, and if a man does not persist in certain things in his life, then his life is very miserable. Pym is a man who sticks to his ideals, and you, as his son, will inevitably inherit that character. I'm very pleased with that. ”

"If there's something you need to do and do it, I'm absolutely here to support you. But don't forget that perseverance in certain things doesn't necessarily pay off in the journey of life. And when things don't go as you expected, I also hope that you don't stick to your 'ideas' too stubbornly, and sometimes it's not a good idea to take a step back. You must know that only by living can people always have hope. ”

Lird nodded and said softly, "Sir, I understand. ”

Wyatt laughed, "You're a smart kid, I'm sure you'll understand what I'm saying." I just want you to remember that neither Grandmother Marg nor your father died, it was not the world that abandoned you. Don't forget, you still have a home in San Francisco, and everyone in that house is waiting. ”

"Hmm—" The hot tears were already wet in Lird's eyes, and he didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously.

Wyatt chuckled, "My silly boy, haha, you and Jenny are really just as stupid sometimes. ”

At the mention of Jenny Lird's heart, he said to Wyatt, "Jenny, is she okay?"

Wyatt smiled: "You should ask her directly about this later." After a pause, Wyatt said, "One last thing I want to ask you, what are you going to do with Pym's aftermath?"

"My father's body has been cremated, and I'm going to take him back to the United States when it's all over and bury him with my grandmother," Lird said. After that day everything is at peace, they will be sent back to their homeland together. ”

Wyatt hummed in agreement and said, "That's good, that's good." Don't worry, just go about your business, I'll take care of everything for Pym. I'll wait for him to come back..."

"Thank you, sir," Lird muttered.

There was a murmur of silence on the other end of the phone, and after about a minute of waiting, the call was finally transferred, and soon Jenny's voice came.

Hearing the familiar voice that he had not seen for a long time, Lird subconsciously clenched the telephone in his hand, closed his eyes and whispered: "Jenny..."

"It's me," Jenny replied.

"You... Are you alright?" said Lird.

"I'm fine, didn't we talk on the phone not long ago?" Jenny's voice was so gentle that it was hard to associate with the lawless girl.

"It didn't take long," Lird lamented, but these few days were an incomparably long process for Lird. A lot of the time, every minute and every second is an ordeal for him.

"Are you alright, Lird?" said Jenny, hearing the dryness and desperation in Lilde's tone.

Lird smiled: "Of course I am very good, I can say that I eat well and sleep well every day." If there's one thing I'm not used to, it's that I can't read the local newspaper. ”

Jenny quipped, "Hindi is difficult, but can our genius linguists be hard to come by?, and perhaps when you come back, I may consider hiring some diligent Indian maids to help out at home." ”

"Haha, you, you!" Lird smiled and sighed, as he continued to organize the language, and he had to explain the same thing to Jenny.

"That, Jenny I... I might..."

"I know my father just told me a little bit about you. Jenny interrupted Lird.

"Jenny, I..."

Jenny said, "Do you remember what I said to you on the night you set out for India? ”

...

"Thank you. After a long silence, Lird finally spat out only two words.

This is the only thing he can express.

Jenny said, "I miss you so much that I can't wait to get you back now." But I also support you, even if this lovesickness will continue for a while, but this can be regarded as a tempering of our relationship. I look forward to our reunion. ”

"Well, me too. Lird closed his eyes.

"Lird?"

"Huh?"

"Promise me one thing. ”

"Okay. ”

"Come back alive and well. ”

"Hmm. ”

...

When Qianrou walked into the private room, Liard's eyes were still slightly red, but the overall mood had returned to normal.

Qianrou walked to the table and sat down, her eyes swept over Lird, "How is the situation at home?" Apparently she had expected where Lird's phone call would go.

Lird nodded silently, and then said to Qianju, "Edward can be trusted, I have confirmed his identity, he is a private investigator hired by my father's friend. ”

"Mr. Wyatt?" Qianrou chuckled, but Lird was stunned when he heard this.

Qianrou smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, I didn't eavesdrop on your conversation, do you think I'm going to behave like that kind of villain?" Mr. Pym once mentioned him to me, and also said that you are living with him. How do you think Jim could have brought you here if we didn't know that? ”

Qianrou's words did break Hugo's doubts, and she immediately smiled a little embarrassedly.

Qianrou continued, "No matter who Edward is or who hired him, I don't have the slightest trust in him, and I only trust you out of all people. ”

Qianrou's words entered Liard's heart like a warm current, and Liarde smiled lightly: "Thank you." ”

"Don't be polite so early, although I trust you very much, I still have some doubts about the theories you have proposed. It is important to know that trust in character does not translate into a successful plan. ”

Lird nodded, "It's natural. ”

Qian Ju said: "Then, now you can call your 'physicist' who is not a professional and ask him to tell us how to implement that earth-shattering plan." ”

Lird nodded yes, and eventually dialed Gerald's home.

The phone took longer than expected, and it even caused Lird a sense of anxiety. However, just as Lird tried to stand up and smash the telephone, the phone was connected.

Lird said to the phone, impossible, "I'm looking for Gerald." ”

"Uh-huh, I am, are you—" The voice hesitated for a moment, then exclaimed, "Lird?"

The person who answered the phone was none other than Gerald.

When Gerald answered the call, Lird breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at Qianrou with a faint smile, and then complained to Gerald, "What were you just doing? Why did it take so long to answer the phone?" ”

"Of course, I have my own business. I just had dinner in the restaurant downstairs, and I read a book for a while in my spare time, and then I felt a little empty and lonely, so I went to the bathroom to read a magazine for a while, and I came to 'Yifa' casually, and when I was just in good spirits, your damn phone call came, and you know how embarrassed I was at that time?"

Qianrou raised her eyebrows and looked at Lird, although she knew a lot about English culture, she didn't understand what Gerald meant by "one shot".

Lird also didn't know much about this, but he knew that the toilet magazine that Gerald was talking about was not a reading like Science, and that it must be some kind of "reluctance". So he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "But there was no family member to answer the phone just now." ”

"Tomorrow is the weekend, and our family has gone on vacation outside the city, and we are going to worship there," Gerard said. ”

Lird wondered, "Why don't you go on vacation?"

Gerard was furious and said, "Why? Why do you say? Do you think I'd like to be alone at home and spend all day with fast food and erotic magazines? If it weren't for you, I would be drinking dry red wine by the manor stove on the outskirts of the city, not with quantum mechanics. ”

Listening to Gerald's unbridled complaint, Lird's face turned red, and he immediately asked Gerald urgently: "Okay, brother, you have worked hard." So after your recent research, what has come to fruition?"
